And the fact that the suspect was completely whacked out on drugs further enhances the officers position. It adds another layer of suspicious and strange behavior by the suspect that the cop had to factor in when evaluating the situation.

If someone is so incoherent to as to not understand a police officers basic demands, that person should not be in public. And to use the intoxication as an excuse for the suspect to not follow the officers orders is the height of absurdity.

I'm really getting tired of hearing and seeing this stuff happen almost on a monthly basis. This happened in April.  When are you so-called freedom loving conservatives are going to get upset about it.  Notice in the video...the officer clearly stated that he didn't know if the suspect had a gun. but killed him anyway.

But I'm sure many of you will say it's the victims fault.

I was going to say that. After watching the video, the man looked like he was high on methamphetamine. Individuals who are impaired by drugs can not always comprehend/follow instructions.  

Lesson: Do not go out in public when you are impaired by drugs, and may not be able to follow directions.

 
DA, did you notice this was a case of nonracial profiling

Yes we have a dead suspect but that doesn't make him a "victim."

Clear cut case of non compliance and the guy died. The officer does NOT need the suspect to be armed for him to shoot. He only needs to be in fear for his life or fear of great bodily harm.  

Haven't we been over this a million times DA?

Do you have ANY cases to show us of police brutality or are they all made up? Even I am sure they exist but you cant seem to find one

So if you accept the assertion that someone is impaired for whatever reason, drugs or medical or whatevever, and they cannot comply with an officers order, then it's perfectly acceptable to shoot to kill?    This was murder...period. The cop claimed he feared for his life and that was enough for home to shoot an unarmed man through a car window that had other people within it.  It was reckless and this cop should be in jail.

This one looks more like an officer out of control from the beginning. I am a LOT more inclined to believe this killing was NOT justified than any of the others.

And for the record, I have never denied that there aren't cops that abuse their authority and have no business being able to hand out a death sentence on a whim, only that the cases that have made the headlines left a LOT of room for doubt that the cop was in the wrong.

As you have stated "repeatedly" there are many, many cases of cops killing unarmed civilians, some justified, others like this one, I am inclined to believe were committed by a cop who was in over his head in a routine traffic stop, and who panicked costing the life of an innocent civilian.

The expert journalist speaks!    LMAO.   What do you expect in your shooting gallery sucker!

The officer did appear a little excited.  However, if the people in the car would not have been acting suspicious in the first place. There would have been no reason for the officer to make a traffic stop to begin with. Like I said before, citizens should not smoke meth, drive around in circles, and expect to wake up the next day. a single dose of personal responsibility, would have preserved this young man's life.

He repeatedly asked the suspect to put his hands on the headrest and you can see him resist that repeated request. We can not see what he was doing with his hands other than that and the officer was in perfect position to see that.  

He felt threatened and his numerous warnings were not heeded. The suspect could have in an instant pulled out a gun and shot the officer and he would be 6 feet under right now and you would have never brought this story up.

There was 8 hours of testimony where the officer testified and I see nothing to contradict his story whatsoever and what is visible on the tape, backs up his testimony. Neither you or I was present at that hearing. The people who actually did hear all the evidence decided an indictment was not warranted.

Let's review again. When an officer of the law tells you to do something, you do it. When he screams at you to do something with his gun drawn, you do it REALLY fast. If you don't, you then assume the risk. Not being able to see what was going on in the car and the officer could, then the officer gets the benefit of the doubt.  

I see no reason for this cop to have been indicted and furthermore, there isn't a jury in America that would have convicted him, imo.

He should find another profession. They are all half psycho paths.

Lesson #1 hide the drugs before the police are standing next to you.

I'm thinking high was so high, and nervous he was trying to hide something that he didn't even have possession of. Just think of how many people/businesses/homes the deceased won't be robbing, do to his stupidity... Social Darwinism strikes again.
